Thanks guys! You have all been really helpful and really nice! I like this site so much I've taken the good advice and registered myself.

I've been reading up on WWW::Mechanize. Sadly, the website in question IS in Javascript. I haven't given up yet. I'm going to spend some more time looking up as much info as I can.

I also have acquired a .pdf version of the web data. I'm doing the best I can , trying to tackle this with straight Perl or trying to convert and extract info from the .pdf .

Hopefully, I will be successful.

As to quitting...I will not be doing this forever. I will not be doing this forever. I will not be doing this forever.

Many thanks, and of course further advice is welcomed!

Telly
